Washington Lawyer Arrested for DUI and Drug Possession

A lawyer running for prosecutor in Clallam County, Washington was arrested on suspicion of DUI and drug charges and he allegedly pulled out a knife at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The story is here and here.

A ticket agent apparently called authorities reporting a man with a floppy hat and Hawaiian shirt had a knife. The knife-wielding man was none other than David Fox, an attorney running for prosecutor. He got into his truck but was pulled over by police. According to the police report, Fox was drunk and had marijuana, a pipe and prescription pills for which he had no prescription.
Fox allegedly tried to pull the “lawyer card,” by telling the officer that he was an attorney running for office.

A Port of Seattle police report says a ticket agent called authorities late Sunday to say a man wearing a floppy hat and Hawaiian shirt had repeatedly pulled out a knife and was asking "weird questions."

He was taken into custody but released from King County without bail when no charges had been filed within 72 hours of his arrest. See here.


The King County prosecutor’s office said charges weren’t filed because the office was awaiting the results of a toxicology test.

Meanwhile, after being busted, Fox decided not to run for prosecutor after all. Who would vote for a dope-smoker who is supposed to uphold the law? Instead, Fox intends to run for Washington’s 5th Congressional District. Huh? Maybe that says something about Congress.
